4 - nail the signal race problem in perl once and for all
5 (see $AnyEvent::MAX_SIGNAL_LATENCY).
6 - take advantage of Async::Interrupt if it is available.
7 - load Time::HiRes and Guard modules on demand only.
8 - add optional/recommended modules section to AnyEvent
9 documentation.
10 - reduce memory usage considerably (and reduce startup penalty)
11 by not using "strict", "warnings" and "overload" modules.
12 - work around buggy windows/openbsd perls and provide EBADMSG
13 and EPROTO ourselves when missing.
14 - improve perl 5.6 compatibility of the core event loop.
15 - made Net::SSLeay version 1.33 a soft requirement.
16
174.83 Fri Jul 17 16:56:26 CEST 2009
18 - implement AnyEvent::Socket::getprotobyname.
19 - AnyEvent::CondVar's will now detect recursive blocking
20 waits and will croak, as too many people fall into
21 this trap.
22 - AnyEvent::Handle will now call ->destroy on itself after
23 executing the on_error callback, instead of doing some
24 half-baked internal shutdown, for fatal errors.
25 - clarify on_eof behaviour w.r.t. the read queue and
26 on_read callbacks.
27 - ignore some possible spurious wake-ups in tcp_connect.
28
294.82 Sat Jul 11 00:34:55 CEST 2009
30 - POE and Event backends didn't accept some callable objects as
31 callbacks.
32 - use Config module instead of POSIX module to detect signal names
33 in AnyEvent::Strict and AnyEvent::Impl::EventLib, as the POSIX
34 module doesn't even have all POSIX signals :/.
35 - use more workarounds around the many refcnt/corruption bugs in
36 Event::Lib.
37 - work around a race condition in perl's select, causing t/03_child.t
38 to rarely fail.
39
404.81 Thu Jul 9 10:30:30 CEST 2009
41 - AnyEvent::Handle didn't properly diagnose write errors
42 (it expected -1 from syswrite, how lame... :).
43 - support file descriptors in addition to file handles
44 in AnyEvent->io.
45 - new env variables: PERL_ANYEVENT_RESOLV_CONF,
46 PERL_ANYEVENT_MAX_OUTSTANDING_DNS, PERL_ANYEVENT_CA_FILE
47 and PERL_ANYEVENT_CA_PATH.
48 - provide a sensible synopsis section for AnyEvent::TLS.
49 - add a "supported backends" section to the manpage.
50 - added simple io watcher test to testsuite, using a
51 portable_socketpair.
52 - tried to improve the stability of the Event::Lib backend,
53 YMMV.
54
554.8 Mon Jul 6 23:45:16 CEST 2009
56 - AnyEvent::DNS did not properly follow CNAME records with
57 uppercase targets.
58 - AnyEvent::DNS would errornously return AAAA records
59 with v4 mapped addresses (a faulty record) as ipv4 addresses,
60 causing AnyEvent::Socket to throw an exception.
61 - added new module AnyEvent::TLS for easier SSL/TLS context
62 creation, with many options including hostname verification,
63 secure default configuration, lots of documentation and,
64 predefined diffie-hellman keys for perfect forward security
65 and much more. get it while it's still fresh!
66 - use AnyEvent::TLS in AnyEvent::Handle for context management.
67 - load AnyEvent::Handle only on demand in AnyEvent::DNS,
68 so AnyEvent::Socket users have smaller memory footprint
69 in the common case.
70 - add AnyEvent::Handle->push_shutdown method.
71 - add an additional error message parameter to AnyEvent::Handle's
72 on_error callback (for TLS, $! is still available).
73 - add AnyEvent::Handle on_starttls/on_stoptls callbacks.
74 - make AnyEvent::Handle more robust against early conenction
75 failures (during new), and return C<undef> in that case
76 from the constructor.
77 - AnyEvent::Handle will now try to load only JSON::XS first,
78 then fall back to JSON.
79 - format_ipv4/format_ipv6 are now exported by default, for symmetry,
80 and because it was documented that way.
81
824.451 Fri Jul 3 00:28:58 CEST 2009
83 - do not clear rbuf when shutting down an AnyEvent::Handle
84 object - doing so breaks AnyEvent::HTTP.
85
864.45 Mon Jun 29 22:59:26 CEST 2009
87 - a write error could cause AnyEvent::Handle to create
88 an I/O watcher with an undefined $fh.
89 - special-case mapped ipv4 addresses in both
90 AnyEvent::Socket::format_address and parse_address,
91 to treat them just like ipv4 addresses.
92 - updated and overhauled the AnyEvent::Intro doc.
93 - implement AnyEvent::Socket::format_ipv4/ipv6.
94 - slightly speed up portable_pipe/socketpair.
95 - expand condvar begin/end documentation.
96
974.42 Fri Jun 26 08:32:18 CEST 2009
98 - preliminary and neccesarily incomplete support for IO::Async.
99 - reset SIGCHLD to DEFAULT when AnyEvent is loaded, in
100 case it was set to IGNORE, to ensure we can catch child statuses
101 even when the calling env acts stupidly.
102 - updated benchmarks with IO::Async, which performs very well.
103
1044.412 Wed Jun 24 01:35:57 CEST 2009
105 - support an "untaint" attribute for AnyEvent::DNS
106 and set it on the default resolver.
107 - implement and document AnyEvent::Impl::Perl::loop.
108 - remove all anyevent-env variables from %ENV
109 when running in tainted mode.
110 - mention and extend the IO::Lambda benchmark.
111
1124.411 Sun Jun 7 18:48:02 CEST 2009
113 - do not try to use F_SETFD on windows.
114
1154.41 Thu May 14 06:40:11 CEST 2009
116 - work around issues in older perls (5.8.0?) when
117 a signal handler is deleted from the %SIG hash.
118 - use POSIX::_exit in child test, to avoid running
119 destructors.
120 - speed up CHLD handling by relying on SIGCHLD being
121 synchronously delivered, even when we roll our own
122 implementation.
123 - AnyEvent::DNS: add the "dname" resource record name
124 for cosmetic reasons.
125
1264.4 Sun Apr 26 20:12:33 CEST 2009
127 - implemented idle watchers, where applicable.
128 - AnyEvent->time died when Event backend was in use.
129 - fix a memleak in the Tk backend.
130 - sped up Tk timer handling.
131 - clip negative "after" values to 0 in AnyEvent::Impl::Event
132 to avoid spamming out warning messages.
133 - fix Qt timers without interval.
134 - avoid Qt zero-timeout special case, in old libqt's.
135
1364.352 Mon Apr 20 16:31:11 CEST 2009
137 - fix AnyEvent::Strict error messages for child watchers.
138 - fix/update Makefile.PL "recommends" versions.
139 - add AnyEvent->now_update.
140
1414.351 Sat Apr 11 07:56:14 CEST 2009
142 - actually make the signal pipe work under win32.
143 - localise $! in signal handler to avoid changing $!, although
144 perl itself does not seem to save/restore errno either.
145 - set the cloexec flag on the signal pipe (normally set by perl too).
146
1474.35 Fri Mar 27 11:48:20 CET 2009
148 - event models relying on AnyEvent's signal watcher emulation did
149 invoke the callback asynchronously, contradicting documentation
150 and causing signals to get lost (this includes AnyEvent's own
151 event loop). AnyEvent now uses the standard pipe trick to make
152 callback execution synchronous to the event loop.
153 - AnyEvent::Handle didn't free TLS context data on DESTROY
154 (patch by Pavel Shaydo).
155 - work around the ever-incompatibly-changing API of MakeMaker.
156 - document that changing global variables without restoring them
157 is a bad idea in Perl (noted by Adam Rosenstein).
158 - AnyEvent::Strict now barfs if ->io is passed a file.
159
1604.34 Thu Feb 12 18:32:45 CET 2009
161 - separately buffer TLS read data, as otherwise the read queue could
162 deadlock as receiving data is not expected while draining the
163 read queue (which cna only happen with TLS).
164 - raise EBADMSG error on JSON decoding errors.
165 - fix some minor manpage bugs (reported by Maximilian Gaß).
166 - speed up select bitmask parsing quite a bit in the pure perl
167 backend.
168 - use CORE::select instead of just select in AnyEvent::Impl::Perl.

4 - socketpair fails on many vista machines because vista has 171 - socketpair fails on many vista machines because vista has
5 completely broken accept/getpeername and getsockname functions, 172 completely broken accept/getpeername and getsockname functions,
6 so we provide our own socketpair emulation that kind of works 173 so we provide our own socketpair emulation that kind of works
